Unless you've been consciously avoiding the news cycle, you are probably aware of the fact that the war drums are being played these days. Yes, it seems like we are about to enter yet another conflict, and as you might imagine the fabricated consent is printing stories.

It almost seems as if people forget their history too quick. I mean, when has US intervention been helpful? When have we "given" people Democracy? And let's say that we have, let's concede for a second to that fallacy, Why is it our problem?
War hawks will always be war hawks, so I'm not surprised some of the same people that got us into IRAQ are pushing for this to happen. But, are we the people going to fall for this again? That's my only concern here, because I thought we could do better.
Listen, to talk about small government, about fiscal conservatism and what not is antithetical to the idea of us going to yet another war. Don't we have enough problems here at home to begin with? Can we address those first? Don't we have a crisis at the border? Don't we have crumbling infrastructure, an ongoing trade war that is gutting farmers?
The tactic is two-fold here. We might be literally going to war to benefit the military industrial complex and to secure a second term. To me, both reasons are disgusting to say the least. I'm no saying seeking reelection is wrong, I'm saying using WAR as the strategy is.
I'm so disappointed, I can barely contain my disdain for our politicians these days.
